About the piece

Created in 1887 by Henri Ernest Dabault, this evocative painting depicts soldiers from the Hôtel des Invalides enjoying a quiet afternoon of fishing. Set against the backdrop of the Pont de Solférino and the historic Parisian skyline, the work beautifully captures the soft light of the river and a nostalgic moment of urban leisure from the late 19th century.
